With a slight smile, Qiqi River Valley continued.

"At night, in those alleys, there are a lot of transactions that you don't know about, most of them are exchanging comics, DVDs, and so on. To put it simply, it's a bit like a 'flea market that doesn't need money', and this kind of underground non-public and confidential transaction is very popular with everyone compared to the public transaction of the flea market. Although animation is regarded by many people as a childish thing and an unrealistic thing, it is precisely because of this that some people use comics and animation for entertainment, and this popular behavior is gradually accepted. But ......"

"But that's just limited to ordinary animations and other two-dimensional creation items.,Doesn't it mean that those dark-oriented gods are included? So in the absence of public trading, there was a situation of anonymous exchange of manga in a secret place at night? What is the plot of this novel? No, what should I say about the birth of an extraordinary story? ”

"What's so strange about that? In the past, I exchanged for an out-of-print copy of "Crystallization S Heaven", but you still don't want to know about this work. This kind of transaction similar to offline activities, isn't it just like those cosplays? It's just that very few people know about it. But no matter how small the circle is, the number of people in a city should not be underestimated, especially in this city. ”

Qiqi River Valley stretched out a finger.

"It's not a famous city at all, and it doesn't quite catch up with places like Ikebukuro, Shibuya, and Akihabara, do you know why? That's because no one wants to engage in superficial activities, and one qiē and one qiē are all done at night, oh, it's fun. ”

Beyond the everyday, did you abandon the usual, the dark transaction of the world in the two-dimensional world?

Sayou couldn't help but laugh, I really heard something interesting today, I didn't expect this city to be so interesting.

"So the city is in the middle of a dark alley. But there are two-dimensional enthusiasts waiting and gathering. ”

Then, Qiqi River Valley was pointed at the old man of the store.

"And the store manager is one of the oldest people in the city, so he has a wide range of contacts, which is the reason for saying that just now."

"I generally understand, could it be that the way to help me get my phone back is ......?"

"Yes, it's very emotional to ask for the help of the two-dimensional lovers in the dark? Wouldn't it be fun to have the otaku who enliven the entire city in darkness help themselves find the thief? ”

But this was only one time, and Qiqi River Valley patted Sayou on the shoulder.

"Only once, because I love your comics."

The store manager dialed the phone. Leaving the counter at the same time, Sayu guessed he was going to contact the 'otaku who are active in the dark'.

But as Nanachi Valley said, it's a good feeling to have otaku throughout the city help them find the person who stole their phones.

At this moment, as a creator, Sayou is also starting to think about those fans who can use him?

But this kind of thinking is very stupid, those people like their own work, but the author himself.

The reason why the store manager can appeal to those otaku is not because he is a great writer, but because he is a prestige. Seniorized people.

Quietly waiting for the passage of time and the return of the old man, Sayou looked at the time on the clock, five minutes had passed since the ten minutes promised by the Seven Seven River Valley, if the remaining five minutes were not in his own mobile phone. Sayou will choose to go to the preview screening first.

"Don't worry, the old man will definitely solve it."

"One more thing, Mr. Kawatani, do you think this kind of night exchange reading is really safe? To put it another way, people who like anime exchange out-of-print or sold out manga in the alleys of the night. Wouldn't there be some insecurity? I remember that some out-of-print goods were enough to sell for sky-high prices, so it was quite normal to be obsessed with money. ”

"Yes, I've been there. I remember when I participated in the offline exchange at the North Side Parking Lot two years ago. There was a guy with a machete yelling 'Meow is mine!' He rushed straight towards everyone, but fortunately, he stopped it in time so that nothing dangerous happened. It's just that it's dangerous, but most of these people are in the minority, so just be careful. In the MAG world, just like society, there is not so much murder opposition in society, otherwise it will be chaotic, so everyone will follow a rule, that is, a rule of equivalent exchange. ”

"But it's not mandatory, right, I don't think it's good to trade out out-of-print comics or something like that in the dark."

After all, those are out of print, and they are the Bibles in the hearts of otaku.

Sayu hadn't participated in such an offline exchange, and it was the first time he knew that there was such an event in the city.

"Sure enough, the store manager is right."

"What?"

"You are a cautious person."

After saying this, the old man came to the counter.

He put the phone he had just taken under the counter and said to Sasuke

"I got my phone back, and now I'm having someone deliver it."

"I see, thank you very much."

Was it solved in less than five minutes? Are the otaku in this city experts in solving crimes?

"They saw the appearance of the prisoner after seeing the forum, and it seemed that there was also a fan of your work, so they beat up the prisoner."

Although he was a fan of himself, he was very grateful, but for beating up that prisoner, Sayou only smiled bitterly.

After waiting for about two minutes, the door of the bar was pushed open, and two young men with glasses and school bags on their backs, as well as a young girl who also wore glasses, that is, the glasses trio dragged a young man with bruises on his face and walked over.

Placing the youth on the ground, one of them took the phone to Sayu.

"I, I'm a fan of Sayou-sensei, it's great to be able to help!"

"Say thank you."

"No, no, it's a matter of duty."

"The book in your hand, why does it look so familiar?"

"Ahh No,This isn't the kind of rare book of your work with a high degree of restoration! ”

“……”

Blew itself up.,So it's a game book.,Or a novel book? Zuoyou is a little interested.,And it's a rare book with a high degree of restoration.。

All in all, after getting my phone back, it was time to rush to the preview screening.

The prisoner was handed over to Nanachi Valley to deal with, and Sayu gave each of the glasses trio an autograph before leaving.

In a short period of time, I got a lot of information.

"Sayo!"

Sayou, who walked out the door, was stopped by Nanachi River Valley standing at the door.

"Actually, I called you this time for one thing, about the cooperation between us, let's talk about it next time."

"Cooperation? If you have the chance. ”

Sayou nodded, turned on his phone to check it, and confirmed the time at the same time, and then quickly took a taxi to NG Animation Studio. (To be continued......)
